12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** New syntax for export blocks
14 Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
15 disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
18 ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
31 As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
34 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
40 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
43 The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
44 using previous syntax:
46 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
47 (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
48 "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
49 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
50 (let ((case-fold-search t)
51 (back-end-re (regexp-opt
52 '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
53 "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
56 (goto-char (point-min))
57 (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
59 (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
60 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
61 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
63 (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
64 (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
67 (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
68 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
70 (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
71 (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
72 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
73 (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
74 (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
75 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
78 Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~
79 and ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to
83 **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
84 Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
85 it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
86 constructs are now unsupported.
88 If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
90 **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
91 Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
92 something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
93 consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
95 In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
97 *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
98 The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
99 S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
100 is straightforward. For example
106 : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
109 *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
111 Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
114 org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
115 org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
118 Old-style links such as
119 : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
120 continue to be supported.
122 If you have defined your own handler functions for
123 ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
124 list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
125 ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into
129 ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
130 *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
131 When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
132 entries are added to last in the date tree.
133 *** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
134 This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
135 a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
136 *** New ~vbar~ entity
137 ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
138 unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
139 a HTML derived export back-end.
141 **** Support for Stan language
142 New ob-stan.el library.
144 Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
146 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
148 This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
149 allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
151 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
153 This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
154 ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
155 that does not end in ".stan".
157 For more information and usage examples, visit
158 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
159 **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
160 =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
161 database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
172 *** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
173 PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
175 *** Rewrite of radio lists
176 Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
177 rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
178 parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
180 *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
181 Used like org-bbdb-anniversaries, it provides a few days warning
182 for upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
183 *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
184 If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
185 information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
187 See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
188 *** Support for ISO week trees
189 ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
190 by ISO week and not by month.
197 : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
199 They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
200 ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
201 *** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
202 Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
203 string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
204 position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
206 *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
207 When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
208 an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
210 On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
212 **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
213 When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
214 buffer unconditionally.
215 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
216 The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
217 **** Allow custom summaries
218 It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
219 provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
220 **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
221 Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
223 *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
224 *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
225 When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
227 *** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
228 If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
229 will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
230 enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
231 ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
234 *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
235 It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
236 *** ~org-show-children~
237 It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
240 *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
241 Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
242 *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
243 Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
244 *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
245 Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
247 *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
248 Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
249 *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
250 Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
251 The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
253 *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
254 Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
255 *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
256 A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
257 now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
259 *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
260 Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
262 *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
263 It was not called by any org code since 2010.
265 *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
266 The affected functions are:
269 - ~org-remove-if-not~
274 Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
275 the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
276 end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
279 *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
280 This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
281 Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
282 let those libraries operate.
283 *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
284 Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
286 *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
287 fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
289 *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
290 It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
291 ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
292 ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
293 is that spaces are allowed within the path.
295 *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
297 *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
298 Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
299 current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
302 *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
303 The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
306 *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
307 Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
308 However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
309 the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
310 placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
311 very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
313 Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
314 template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
315 expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
316 another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
318 *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
319 Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
320 to the article's original group.
322 *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
323 The calling convention has changed.
324 *** HTML export table row customization changes
325 Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
326 ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
327 Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
328 called with 6 parameters.
329 *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
330 *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
331 The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
332 *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
333 HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
334 than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
335 Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
337 : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
339 where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
340 For most folks this file does not exist.
341 Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
343 : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
345 All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other =gnu.org= manuals.
348 ** Incompatible changes
350 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
352 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
353 headline and its planning line, when applicable.
355 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
356 logged before the property drawer.
358 The following function will repair them:
360 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
361 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
362 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
363 Ignore non Org buffers."
364 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
365 (org-with-wide-buffer
366 (goto-char (point-min))
367 (let ((case-fold-search t)
368 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
369 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
373 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
375 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
377 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
378 (when (and (< (point) end)
379 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
381 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
382 (eq (org-element-type
383 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
385 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
387 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
388 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
391 *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
393 If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
394 exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
395 is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
396 into account when exporting.
398 If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
399 for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
401 *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
403 It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
404 the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
407 =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
408 properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
413 :CATEGORY: some category
417 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
419 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
420 and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
421 controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
424 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
426 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
427 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
429 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
430 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
432 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
434 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
435 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
437 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
439 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
440 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~ respectively,
441 rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
442 version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
443 headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
445 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
447 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
448 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
450 *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
452 If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
453 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
454 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
456 *** Functions signature changes
458 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
459 docstring for more information.
461 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
462 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
463 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
464 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
465 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
469 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
471 If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
472 without changing the headline.
474 *** Hierarchies of tags
475 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
476 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
477 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
479 The following in-buffer definition:
481 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
482 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
483 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
486 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
495 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
496 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
498 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
500 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
501 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
502 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
504 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
505 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
506 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
507 } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
508 given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
510 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
516 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
519 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
520 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
523 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
526 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
528 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
529 regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
530 certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
533 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
534 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
535 Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
537 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
540 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
541 is also used as a filter.
543 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
544 Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
545 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
546 makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
549 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
550 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
552 *** Babel: support for sed scripts
554 Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
556 *** Babel: support for Processing language
558 New ob-processing.el library.
560 This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
561 of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
562 external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
564 Check the documentation for more.
566 Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
568 *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
569 The new behaviour is the following:
571 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
572 when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
575 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
578 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
580 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
582 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
584 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
585 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
587 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
589 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
590 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
593 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
595 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
596 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
597 ~org-drawers~ variable.
599 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
601 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
602 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
603 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
604 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
606 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
608 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
609 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
610 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
613 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
615 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
618 *** New option in ASCII export
620 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
621 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
623 *** New blocks in ASCII export
625 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
626 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
628 *** More back-end specific publishing options
630 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
631 increased. See manual for details.
633 *** Export inline source blocks
635 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
636 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
637 in the output, depending on the parameters.
639 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
641 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
643 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
645 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
647 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
649 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
650 more features. See docstring for details.
652 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
654 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
656 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
657 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
659 *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
661 : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
663 : This sentence is false.
666 will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
668 *** Various improvements on radio tables
670 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
671 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
672 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
673 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
674 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
675 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
677 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
679 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
680 source blocks exported by the minted package.
682 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
684 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
685 would throw an error. A new variable
686 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
687 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
688 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
692 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
695 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
697 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
698 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
700 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
702 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
704 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
706 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
707 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
708 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
710 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
712 See docstring for more information.
714 *** Export unnumbered headlines
716 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
717 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
718 property is inherited by children.
720 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
722 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
723 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
724 keys, to sort a table.
726 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
728 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
731 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
733 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
736 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
738 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
739 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
741 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
743 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
744 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
746 *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
748 It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
749 ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
752 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
754 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
755 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
757 *** New entities family: "\_ "
759 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
760 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
761 leading spaces within table cells.
763 *** New MathJax configuration options
765 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
766 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
768 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
770 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
771 `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
772 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
774 However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
775 =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
776 value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
777 keywords and properties.
779 *** Viewport support in html export
781 Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
782 when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
784 *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
786 Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
789 *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
791 Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
792 allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
793 a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
795 *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
797 Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
798 added to headline text.
800 *** Support for images in Texinfo export
802 ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
804 *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
806 Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
807 of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
810 *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
812 In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
813 set using the hh:mm:ss format.
815 *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
817 ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
818 the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
819 subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
821 *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
823 It encompasses all past closed clocks.
825 *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
827 See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
828 ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
830 *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
832 *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
836 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
838 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
840 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
842 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
843 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
844 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
845 accessible from the export dispatcher.
847 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
849 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
851 *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
853 This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
854 references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
856 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
858 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
861 *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
863 These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
864 anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
867 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
869 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
872 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
873 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
875 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
877 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
878 body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
881 *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
883 Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
884 everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
886 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
888 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
889 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
890 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
891 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
892 this variable locally.
894 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
896 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
897 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
898 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
899 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
900 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
902 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
904 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
905 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
908 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
910 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
912 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
914 This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
916 *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
918 This variable has no effect since August 2009.
920 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
922 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
923 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
924 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
925 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
927 *** Removed comment-related filters
929 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
930 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
934 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
936 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
938 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
940 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
941 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
943 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
945 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
946 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
949 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
951 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
952 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
954 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
956 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
958 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
960 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
961 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
962 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
963 particular test failure was introduced.
965 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
967 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
968 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
969 well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
970 when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
972 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
974 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
975 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
977 *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
979 If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
980 ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
983 *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
985 This helps spotting wrong links.
988 ** Incompatible changes
989 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
990 This may require two changes in user config.
992 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
993 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
994 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
996 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
998 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
999 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
1000 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
1002 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
1003 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
1005 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
1009 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
1011 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
1013 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
1014 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
1015 option keywords like :html-include-style.
1017 So you need to replace
1019 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
1023 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
1025 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
1026 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
1028 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
1030 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
1031 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
1032 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
1034 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
1035 the other optional arguments accordingly.
1037 *** Export back-ends are now structures
1039 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
1040 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
1041 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
1044 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
1046 ** Important bugfixes
1048 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
1049 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
1051 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
1053 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
1054 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
1055 separator starting a TOTO match string.
1058 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
1060 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
1062 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
1064 - Support SVG images
1065 - Support for .pgf files
1066 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
1067 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
1068 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
1069 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
1070 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
1071 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
1072 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
1074 *** New functions for paragraph motion
1076 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
1077 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
1078 in a paragraph-like way.
1080 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1082 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
1083 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
1084 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
1085 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
1086 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
1088 *** Anonymous export back-ends
1090 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
1091 which can then be passed to export functions like
1092 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
1094 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
1095 registering a new back-end.
1097 *** New agenda fortnight view
1099 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
1100 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
1103 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
1105 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
1106 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
1108 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
1109 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
1110 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
1112 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
1113 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
1115 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
1116 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
1117 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
1118 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
1119 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
1122 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
1124 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
1126 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
1128 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
1130 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
1132 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
1134 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
1136 If you set this to the following
1138 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
1140 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
1142 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
1144 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
1146 ** New contributed packages
1148 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
1149 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
1152 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
1153 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
1157 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
1159 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
1160 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
1161 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
1162 the same with example blocks.
1164 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
1171 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
1173 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
1176 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
1177 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
1178 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
1180 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
1181 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
1182 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
1183 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
1184 detailed explanations.
1186 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
1187 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
1188 function has been called already.
1190 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
1193 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
1195 ** Incompatible changes
1197 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
1199 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
1201 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
1202 you will have to update them.
1204 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
1206 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
1207 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
1209 **** New export engine
1211 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
1212 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
1213 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
1214 /all/ export back-ends.
1216 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
1217 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
1218 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
1219 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
1220 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
1222 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
1223 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
1225 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
1226 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
1227 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
1228 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
1230 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
1232 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
1234 should now be written
1236 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
1238 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
1239 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
1240 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
1242 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
1244 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
1246 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
1249 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
1250 remember templates into capture templates.
1252 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
1254 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
1255 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
1257 **** Note for third-party developers
1259 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
1260 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
1261 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
1263 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
1266 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
1268 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
1269 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
1270 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
1272 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
1273 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
1274 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
1277 - org-colview-xemacs.el
1278 - org-mac-message.el
1284 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
1285 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
1286 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
1288 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
1289 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
1291 ** New packages in core
1293 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
1295 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
1297 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
1299 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
1301 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
1303 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
1304 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
1306 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
1308 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
1310 ** New packages in contrib
1312 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
1314 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
1316 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
1319 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
1321 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
1322 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
1324 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
1327 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
1329 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
1331 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
1333 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
1335 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
1336 for starting headlines.
1338 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
1340 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
1341 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
1342 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
1343 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
1345 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
1347 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
1349 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
1351 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as

1356 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1359 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
1361 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
1362 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
1365 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
1366 conversion from Org files to groff.
1368 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
1370 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
1372 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
1374 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
1375 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
1382 **** New export generic options
1384 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
1385 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
1387 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
1389 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
1390 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
1391 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
1392 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
1394 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
1395 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
1396 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
1397 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
1398 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
1399 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
1400 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
1401 contains time-stamps.
1403 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
1404 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
1405 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
1407 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
1409 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
1411 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
1413 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
1415 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
1416 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
1417 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
1418 *** Structure editing
1420 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
1421 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
1423 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
1424 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
1426 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
1428 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
1429 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
1430 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
1431 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
1434 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
1436 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
1437 _words__= will preserve markup.
1439 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
1441 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
1442 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
1443 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
1445 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
1447 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
1448 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
1450 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
1452 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
1453 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
1454 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
1455 forward and backward.
1457 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
1458 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
1460 Now Org will sort this list
1462 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1463 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1467 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1468 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1470 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
1471 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
1472 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
1474 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
1475 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
1476 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
1478 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
1481 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
1483 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
1484 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
1485 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
1487 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
1489 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
1490 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
1491 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
1492 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
1494 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
1496 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
1497 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
1498 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
1499 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
1500 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
1502 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
1504 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
1505 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
1506 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
1508 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
1509 *** Scheduled/deadline
1511 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
1513 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
1514 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
1515 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
1516 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
1518 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
1519 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
1520 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
1521 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
1523 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
1524 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
1525 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
1526 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
1527 control this globally or per agenda.
1529 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
1531 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
1533 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
1535 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
1536 *** Calendar, diary and appts
1538 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
1540 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
1541 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
1542 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
1544 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1545 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
1546 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
1548 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
1549 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
1551 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
1554 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
1556 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
1557 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
1558 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
1560 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
1562 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
1563 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
1564 only show their description, not the full links.
1567 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
1569 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
1570 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
1571 want to build a list of appointments.
1573 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
1574 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
1576 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
1578 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
1580 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
1581 time value (i.e. appointments).
1583 **** New agenda sorting strategies
1585 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
1587 | Strategy | Explanations |
1588 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
1589 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
1590 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
1591 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
1592 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
1593 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
1594 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
1595 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
1596 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
1597 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
1598 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
1600 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
1602 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
1603 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
1604 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
1606 These new options are available:
1608 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
1609 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
1610 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
1611 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
1613 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
1614 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
1615 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
1617 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
1618 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
1619 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
1620 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
1621 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
1622 non-tagged headlines.
1624 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
1626 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
1627 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
1628 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
1629 that take only =N= minutes.
1631 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
1633 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
1634 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
1635 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
1637 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
1639 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
1640 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
1642 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
1644 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
1645 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
1647 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
1650 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
1652 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
1653 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
1654 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
1656 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
1657 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
1659 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
1661 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
1662 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
1664 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
1666 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
1668 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
1669 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
1672 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
1674 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
1675 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
1676 asks for a confirmation.
1678 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
1680 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
1681 the mark of the entry at point.
1683 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
1684 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
1686 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
1688 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
1689 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
1692 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
1694 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
1695 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
1697 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
1699 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
1700 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
1702 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
1704 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
1705 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
1706 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
1707 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
1709 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1711 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
1712 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
1713 repeated beyond the current deadline.
1715 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
1717 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
1718 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
1719 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
1720 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
1722 Read the full docstring for details.
1724 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
1726 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
1729 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
1732 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
1734 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
1735 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
1738 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
1740 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
1741 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
1743 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
1745 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1746 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
1747 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
1748 check against the name of the buffer.
1751 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
1752 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
1753 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
1756 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
1757 agenda views, and for filtering.
1759 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
1763 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1765 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1766 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1767 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1769 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1770 as if the protocol was not known.
1772 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1774 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1776 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1777 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1778 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1781 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1783 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1784 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1785 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1787 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1789 When storing a link to a headline like
1791 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1793 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1794 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1795 there is no description.
1798 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1800 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1801 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1802 those other formulas.
1804 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1806 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1807 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1808 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1811 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1813 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1814 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1815 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1818 **** New lookup functions
1820 There are now three lookup functions:
1822 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1823 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1824 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1826 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1827 *** Startup keywords
1829 These new startup keywords are now available:
1831 | Startup keyword | Option |
1832 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1833 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1834 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1835 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1836 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1837 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1838 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1839 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1840 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1844 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1846 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1847 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1848 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1849 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1851 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1853 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1854 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1855 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1858 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1859 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1861 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1863 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1864 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1866 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1868 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1869 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1870 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1872 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1873 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1874 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1875 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1876 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1877 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1878 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1881 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1883 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1885 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1887 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1888 same target than the block at point.
1890 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1892 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1893 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1894 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1896 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1897 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1900 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1902 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1903 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1904 manual for a usage example.
1906 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1908 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1909 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1910 collecting blocks for tangling.
1912 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1913 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1915 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1916 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1917 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1918 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1920 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1921 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1953 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1955 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1957 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1959 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1961 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1962 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1963 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1964 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1965 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1966 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1967 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1968 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1970 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1972 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1973 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1975 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1977 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1978 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1979 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1983 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1985 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1986 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1989 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1990 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1991 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1992 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1993 agenda type to this variable.
1995 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1998 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1999 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
2000 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
2001 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
2003 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
2005 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
2006 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
2007 invisible) blocked tasks.
2009 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
2011 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
2012 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
2014 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
2016 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
2017 ** No GPL manual anymore
2019 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
2020 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
2022 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
2024 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
2026 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
2027 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
2028 in most environments.
2032 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
2034 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
2036 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2037 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
2040 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
2041 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
2042 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
2045 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
2047 ** Overview of the new keybindings
2049 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
2050 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
2051 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |

2063 | C-c , | , | [[doc::org-priority][org-priority]] |
2065 ** New package and Babel language
2067 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
2069 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
2071 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
2072 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
2074 ** Incompatible changes
2076 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
2077 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
2079 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
2082 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
2083 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
2084 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
2086 ** New features and user-visible changes
2090 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
2091 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
2092 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
2093 core and many core functions rely on this package.
2095 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
2096 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
2098 See the docstrings for more details.
2100 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
2101 on =org-element.el=.
2103 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
2105 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
2106 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
2107 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
2108 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
2110 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
2112 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
2113 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
2114 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
2115 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
2117 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
2119 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
2121 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
2123 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
2126 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
2127 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
2129 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
2130 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
2131 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
2134 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
2137 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
2138 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
2139 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
2141 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
2142 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
2143 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
2148 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
2150 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
2151 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
2152 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
2153 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
2155 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
2156 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
2157 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
2158 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
2159 generating new ones.
2161 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
2164 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2166 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2167 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
2170 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2171 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
2172 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
2175 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
2176 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
2177 details on how to use this.
2179 **** Changes in bulk actions
2181 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
2182 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
2184 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
2185 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
2186 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
2187 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
2188 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
2190 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
2191 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
2193 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
2194 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
2197 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
2199 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
2201 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
2203 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
2204 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
2206 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
2208 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
2209 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
2210 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
2211 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
2214 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
2216 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
2219 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
2220 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
2221 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
2222 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
2223 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
2226 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
2228 See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
2230 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
2232 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
2233 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
2234 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
2235 filters and category filters.
2237 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
2238 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
2241 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
2242 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
2243 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
2248 **** Inserting links
2250 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
2251 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
2252 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
2255 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
2256 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
2257 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
2258 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
2260 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
2263 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
2265 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
2266 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
2267 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
2268 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
2270 **** New link type =help=
2272 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
2274 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
2275 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
2276 you go back to the same buffer.
2278 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
2280 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
2281 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
2284 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
2286 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
2288 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
2290 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
2292 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
2294 **** RET now follows time stamps links
2298 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
2300 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
2301 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
2302 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
2303 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
2305 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
2307 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
2308 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
2309 all headlines in the region.
2311 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
2313 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
2315 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
2316 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
2318 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
2320 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
2322 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
2324 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
2326 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
2328 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
2329 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
2330 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
2335 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
2337 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
2339 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
2341 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
2342 clocked entry, if any.
2344 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
2346 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
2348 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
2350 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
2351 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
2354 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
2355 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
2356 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
2360 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
2362 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
2365 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
2367 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
2368 cells in clockreport.
2370 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
2371 time cells in clockreport.
2374 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
2376 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
2377 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
2379 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
2380 in the mode line and/or frame title.
2382 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
2383 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
2384 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
2385 space in the frame title.
2389 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
2391 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
2392 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
2393 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
2394 don't want to see temporarily.
2396 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
2398 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
2400 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
2402 There are these new entities:
2404 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
2405 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
2406 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
2407 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
2408 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
2409 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
2411 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
2412 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
2413 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
2415 The face is back to a normal height.
2419 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
2420 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
2422 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
2423 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
2425 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
2427 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
2428 block will use its value as the column format.
2430 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
2432 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
2434 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
2436 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
2438 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
2439 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
2440 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
2441 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
2443 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
2447 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
2449 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
2451 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
2453 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
2455 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
2456 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
2457 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
2459 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
2461 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
2462 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
2463 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
2467 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
2469 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
2470 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
2471 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
2472 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
2474 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
2476 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2477 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
2480 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2481 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
2482 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
2485 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
2486 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
2487 more details on how to use this.
2489 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
2490 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
2492 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
2493 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
2496 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
2498 See the manual for more explanations.
2500 **** More control over empty lines
2502 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
2503 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
2506 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
2508 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
2512 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
2514 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
2515 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
2516 available) to print beautiful tables.
2518 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
2520 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
2521 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
2524 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
2526 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
2527 in the #+DATE option.
2529 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
2531 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
2533 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
2534 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
2536 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
2537 More languages are always welcome.
2539 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
2541 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
2542 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
2544 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
2545 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
2546 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
2547 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
2548 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
2549 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
2551 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
2552 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
2556 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
2558 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
2561 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
2563 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
2564 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
2566 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
2568 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
2570 It used to exports the results of the code.
2574 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
2575 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
2577 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
2578 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
2580 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
2582 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
2583 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
2584 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
2586 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
2587 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
2589 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
2590 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
2591 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
2594 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
2596 This will increment the effort value.
2598 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
2600 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
2602 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
2603 attach symbolic links.
2605 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
2607 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
2609 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
2610 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
2612 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
2614 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
2616 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
2617 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
2618 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
2620 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
2622 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
2623 all top level list items.
2625 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
2627 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
2629 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
2630 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
2632 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
2634 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
2636 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
2637 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
2638 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
2639 first headline in the region.
2641 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
2643 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
2646 ** Important bug fixes
2648 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
2650 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
2651 perform completion with meaningful values.
2653 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
2655 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
2656 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
2657 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2659 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
2660 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
2662 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
2663 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
2666 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
2667 the code and the license to your needs.
2669 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
2670 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
2674 ** Incompatible changes
2676 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
2678 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
2680 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
2682 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
2683 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
2684 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
2685 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
2688 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
2690 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
2691 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
2692 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
2694 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
2696 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
2697 =org-agenda-span= instead.
2699 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
2701 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
2703 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
2704 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
2705 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
2706 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
2707 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
2709 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
2710 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
2711 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
2712 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
2713 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
2714 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
2716 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
2717 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
2718 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
2721 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
2724 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
2725 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
2726 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
2727 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
2729 The two new variables are:
2731 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
2732 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
2733 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
2734 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
2735 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
2736 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
2737 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
2739 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
2740 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
2743 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
2746 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
2747 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
2748 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
2749 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
2751 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
2752 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
2753 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
2754 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
2757 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
2758 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
2759 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
2760 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
2761 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
2762 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2765 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2766 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2767 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2768 applies to the following packages:
2786 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2787 you are using, you can remove it from
2788 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2789 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2792 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2793 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2794 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2795 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2796 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2799 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2801 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2802 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2803 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2806 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2808 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2810 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2812 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2814 ** Important new features
2816 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2818 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2820 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2821 for more information on how to customize it.
2823 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2825 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2826 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2827 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2828 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2830 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2831 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2832 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2834 To switch over to the new system:
2838 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2840 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2841 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2842 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2843 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2844 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2846 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2848 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2851 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2854 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2856 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2857 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2858 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2859 with using both system in parallel.
2863 *** New Org libraries
2864 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2866 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2868 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2870 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2872 To use, put the following in your init file:
2875 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2878 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2879 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2880 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2881 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2882 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2883 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2884 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2885 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2886 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2889 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2891 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2892 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2894 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2896 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2897 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2898 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2901 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2902 call function to do something special with text links.
2904 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2906 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2908 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2909 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2910 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2913 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2915 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2917 *** New Babel libraries
2919 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2920 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2921 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2922 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2923 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2924 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2925 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2927 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2931 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2933 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2934 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2935 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2936 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2937 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2938 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2940 The key new functions are
2942 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2943 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2944 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2946 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2947 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2949 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2950 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2952 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2953 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2955 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2957 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2958 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2959 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2961 **** Modified link escaping
2963 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2965 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2966 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2967 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2968 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2971 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2972 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2973 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2974 : percent escaped links are solved.
2976 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2978 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2980 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2981 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2983 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2985 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2987 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2988 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2989 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2990 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2991 string to be executed.
2993 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2994 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2998 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2999 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
3002 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
3006 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
3008 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
3009 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
3010 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
3011 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
3013 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
3014 will work on the current entry.
3016 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
3017 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
3019 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
3021 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
3023 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
3026 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
3027 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
3032 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
3034 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
3035 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
3036 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
3038 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
3040 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
3041 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
3042 entries using a function.
3044 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
3045 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
3046 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
3048 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
3050 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
3051 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
3052 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
3054 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
3056 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
3057 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
3058 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
3059 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
3060 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
3061 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
3063 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
3067 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
3069 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
3070 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
3072 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
3073 docstring of these variable for details about available
3076 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
3077 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
3078 formatting string will insert a string.
3080 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
3082 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
3083 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
3084 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
3085 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
3086 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
3087 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
3088 C-e u=, respectively.
3090 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
3091 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
3092 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
3093 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
3094 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
3097 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
3099 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
3100 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
3102 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
3104 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
3105 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
3107 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
3109 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
3110 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
3111 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
3112 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
3113 section]] in the manual for more details.
3115 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
3116 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
3117 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
3122 **** Refile targets can now be cached
3124 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
3125 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
3126 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
3127 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
3128 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
3130 **** New logging support for refiling
3132 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
3133 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
3136 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
3140 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
3142 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
3146 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
3148 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
3149 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
3151 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
3153 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
3154 the displayed in the buffer.
3156 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
3158 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
3160 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
3161 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
3163 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
3164 |--------+--------+---------|
3165 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
3166 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
3168 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
3171 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
3174 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
3176 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
3178 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
3179 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
3186 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
3187 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
3190 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
3192 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
3194 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
3195 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
3197 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
3201 **** Improved handling of lists
3203 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
3205 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
3206 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
3207 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
3210 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
3211 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
3212 counters like [@c] or [@W].
3214 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
3215 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
3216 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
3217 `org-list-export-context'.
3219 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
3220 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
3221 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
3223 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
3224 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
3225 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
3226 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
3227 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
3229 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
3230 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
3231 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
3233 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
3235 *** Inline display of linked images
3237 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
3238 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
3239 that have no description part will be inlined.
3241 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
3243 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
3244 from 1, you can now do it like this:
3246 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
3248 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
3250 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
3251 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
3252 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
3253 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
3254 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
3255 into account all header arguments, and variables.
3257 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
3258 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
3259 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
3262 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
3263 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
3264 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
3265 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
3266 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
3267 properties or in tables.
3269 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
3270 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
3271 names, and rownames across all languages.
3273 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
3275 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
3277 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
3278 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
3279 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
3281 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
3283 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
3284 request by Scott Otterson.
3286 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
3288 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
3289 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
3290 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
3291 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
3292 superscripts, see the variable
3293 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
3295 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
3297 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
3299 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
3300 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
3301 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
3302 following new faces:
3304 =org-document-title=
3306 =org-document-info-keyword=
3308 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
3309 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
3311 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
3313 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
3315 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
3316 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
3317 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
3318 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
3319 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
3320 property is affected by this setting.
3322 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
3323 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
3325 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
3327 Requested by Michael Brand.
3329 **** Better level cycling function
3331 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
3332 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
3333 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
3334 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
3336 **** Adaptive filling
3338 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
3339 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
3340 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
3341 comments to be filled correctly.
3343 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
3345 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
3347 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
3349 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
3351 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
3352 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
3354 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
3358 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
3360 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
3361 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
3362 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
3363 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
3365 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
3367 **** Localized clock tables
3369 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
3370 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
3371 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
3372 available translated strings.
3374 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
3376 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
3377 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
3378 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
3379 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
3381 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
3383 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
3385 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
3386 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
3387 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
3388 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
3391 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
3395 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
3397 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
3398 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
3400 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
3402 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
3404 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
3405 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
3406 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
3409 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
3412 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
3414 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
3415 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
3420 org-table-current-line
3424 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
3426 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
3427 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
3430 This was requested by Tom.
3432 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
3434 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
3435 example by viewing from the agenda.
3437 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
